Royal Cenotaphs, Devikund Sagar

Devi Kund Sagar is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bikaner. It is located 8 kilometers east of the city. It is well-known because members of Bikaner's royal dynasty, including Jet Singh, Rao Bikaji's great-grandson, were cremated here.

On either side of the reservoir are royal cenotaphs of monarchs of the Bikaner dynasty, ranging from Rao Kalyan Singhji to Maharaja Karni Singh. Prior to Maharaja Gaj Singh, 22 Satis of the royal dynasty had chhatris or cenotaphs.

The architectural brilliance on exhibit on these cenotaphs is one of the main reasons for the increased number of visitors. Surat Singh's cenotaph is entirely made of white marble and is breathtakingly beautiful. Stunning artwork adorns the walls throughout the space.
